Description
Very hard to find matching set of early field worn shoulder boards, anything Schutzen related is very hard to come by no matter what the condition is. Each board has 2 gold pips, indicating rank of rank of 1st Lt. The underneath material is bright rosa pink waffenfarb, indicating service in a Panzer Division. The center of the tops of the boards are the fire gilded gothic “S” for Schutzen with the number “4” underneath for Panzer Regiment 4. When Germany first introduced Motorized Infantry in the 1930s those regiments that were the Infantry component of the Panzer Divisions, prior to being known as Panzer Grenadiers (from 1942), were termed ‘Schützen Regimenter’ (organized into ‘Schützen Brigaden’) Overall this set is fantastic, with matching wear and clear signs of being field worn!
